hmmmmm, the word ball-less comes to mind.

IT IS TIME for Americans to take back the country and start a new government.

I laugh at the same people whom bitch, piss and moan about the military and yet these people are the same ones who would never help a fellow American.

One person on this form has confessed that he would allow a 80+ yr old man get pulverized just because he might get hurt.

(mommy mommy; "When will my sack drop"?)

Don't confuse stupidity with courage. There are plenty of things I don't do for reasons other than fear. Same for other people. He asked for a reason to do it, not to list one possible reason not to do it.

Once again, give a reason to help the 80-year-old man out.

What ???? I didn't know we were talking about Hamas? Silly me.

There is no reason you MUST,

But for those of us who are not unfeeling social darwinists, there is a reason one SHOULD.

Good samaritan behavior should not be enforced by law, but it should most certainly be upheld as a social virtue.

You're shitting me right.

If I'd have to explain it to ya, then you'd never understand.


Question: What if that 80 yr old man was your Grandfather?

Sad that this would have to be explained.
That and you wrote it much better than I would have.

You win the thread. I didn't have to read the other eight pages.

Depends on my feelings towards him. Given his relation, I would assume you mean we did not have bitter hatred toward one another, but rather had respect, enjoyment, etc... I'd help.

This was a long thread to begin with, and once I got to this, I had to say;
-Americano raised good points and was well thoughtful. There was neither weakness nor cowardise in his ideas.
-You raised good points and had first hand information to back up your view, but name calling, especially when it's baseless, get's you nowhere.

If Americano feels that war(which is hailed over a long ago) is fruitless and mearly a manifestation of a failed policy and stubborn resolution not to see U.S. made mistakes, he has good reasons to say so.
Courage is stand behind own opinions and reasoning. Wisdom is to think with own mind.

Oh, you mean this part-

You should have listed Grade A willful ignorance along with your other qualifications. There are a great many other marines who are better trained than you, better qualified than you, of a higher rank than you, perhaps even better educated and braver than you who wouldn't ignore the obvious and widespread criticisms of the unacceptable behaviour and sullied reputations of some units of the Marine Corps. How come you think it's OK to say that these people 'don't know what they're talking about ' ?

EAL;
Is that the same m.o. you use with the funny papers ?

So, his potrayal of me and my friends as murderous, incompetent thugs, is perfectly fine, but when I say he portrays himself as nothing more than a keyboard activist, welll.... that is just way over the line?
